Product catalog summary
Overview: The ECS-PMC/FPGA is a PMC EtherCAT Slave Interface designed to convert a PMC system into an EtherCAT slave device. It integrates EtherCAT Slave (ECS) functionality into PMC-equipped base boards, mapping the EtherCAT Slave Controller address space directly to the PCI Express address space.
Configuration and Development: The device supports easy configuration through esd's EtherCAT Master or other masters, and includes a sample EtherCAT Slave Information File (ESI file in XML format). An EtherCAT Slave API library and sample code are provided for rapid application development.
Bus Master Support: The FPGA includes Bus Master DMA support to offload the CPU, enhancing performance by managing the output process image data transfer to host memory.
Technical Specifications: The ECS-PMC/FPGA features a Beckhoff IP core implemented in an Altera FPGA, configured with 8 FMMUs, 8 Sync Managers, 60 kB DPRAM, and 64-bit Distributed Clocks. It connects via the PCI Express bus on PMC connectors P11 and P12, with additional EtherCAT signals available on the PMC I/O connector P14.
Versatile Application: The design offers flexibility, allowing the PMC system to act as an I/O node. It supports various EtherCAT protocols such as CoE, FoE, and EoE for communication with EtherCAT master devices.
Software Support: Device drivers for Windows and Linux, along with documentation and EtherCAT slave examples, are included. Drivers for other operating systems, particularly real-time OS, are available upon request.
Related Products: The EtherCAT Slave board is also available with XMC and PCI Express interfaces, including a low-profile PCIe version.
General Specifications: The board operates at a supply voltage of 3.3 V DC, with operational temperatures ranging from 0 to 65 °C and a maximum relative humidity of 90% (non-condensing). Dimensions are 149 mm x 74 mm x 10 mm, and it weighs 100 g.
Order Information: The ECS-PMC/FPGA is available under order number E.1104.02, including drivers, ECS-Stack as binary, and manuals for Windows and Linux.

E CS-PM C/FPGA _PMC EtherCAT9 Slave Interface Eth e rCATConvert your PMC System into an EtherCAT Slave Device • Add EtherCAT Slave (ECS) functionality to your PMC equipped base board • The EtherCAT Slave Controller address space is directly mapped to the PCI Express® address space. esd's EtherCAT Master or other masters • Sample EtherCAT Slave Information File (ESI file in XML format) is provided • esd's EtherCAT Slave API library and sample code for rapid application development are included • The FPGA contains Bus Master DMA Support to offload the CPU from copying the output process image data into the host memory. This is utilized by the esd EtherCAT Slave Stack. The ECS-PMC/FPGA is an EtherCAT Slave Controller board in a IEEE 1386.1 (PMC) form factor. It utilizes a Beckhoff IP core which is implemented in an Altera® FPGA and configured for 8 FMMUs, 8 Sync Managers, 60 kB DPRAM and 64 bit Distributed Clocks. Other configurations are available on request. The FPGA connects between the PCI Express bus on the PMC P11 and P12 connector and the two Ethernet interfaces on the front panel. The additional EtherCAT signals SYNC and Latch are available on the PMC I/O connector P14. Because of this simple hardware topology and the use of a “soft" controller the design offers a maximum of flexibility. An EtherCAT master can use several EtherCAT protocols like CoE, FoE and EoE to communicate with this EtherCAT slave device. Via connector PMC-P14 equipped on the ECS-PMC/FPGA 16 3.3 V LVTTL I/Os are available, including the signals from the EtherCAT Slave Controller: 2x Sync and 2x Latch. Device drivers for Windows® and Linux® with documentation and EtherCAT slave examples are included in the scope of delivery. Drivers for other operating systems, especially real-time operating systems, are available on request. The EtherCAT Slave board is also available with XMC interface (ECS-XMC/FPGA; order no. E.1102.02) or with PCI Express® interface (ECS-PCIe/FPGA; order no. E.1106.02). The PCIe card is also available as low profile version (ECS-PCIe/FPGA-LP; order no. E.1106.04).
